Letters to the editor: Find ways to reduce costs of city services

To the editor:

I’m all for competitive bidding for any taxpayer-funded service; however, if increasing the frequency of collection is included, it stands to reason that the cost would increase. A business cannot double service without it costing more.

Our recycle can is put out each week; and more often than not, the waste can is put out every other week.

Seeing as how we already are paying exorbitant fees for water and sewer service, I strongly urge Conroe City Council members to reduce, not inflate, the cost of any city service.

Impeachment of ObamaAn Exercise in Futility

To the editor:

I’m glad my congressman, Kevin Brady, is focused on what matters to us and not on wild goose chases like impeaching a president who is leaving office in a few months.

Jim Doyle called for Congress to impeach President Obama immediately for treason in a letter to The Courier.

Impeachment did no good with Bill Clinton. He was not convicted and removed by the Senate, which could only muster 45 and 50 votes on the respective charges against him. Today, ex-President Clinton’s corrupt wife is the Democrat nominee for president. Mr. Doyle’s efforts would be better spent keeping Hillary Clinton out of the White House, in my opinion.

I think the American voter is ready for a change in the White House and will keep the leadership team that we have elected to both houses of Congress. I am glad to welcome Sen. Ted Cruz to the Trump Team.

No end in sight under Hillary

To the editor:

American cities are being burned, looting is rampant, and families are mourning loved ones. Obama does nothing but fan the flames, and Hillary is following his agenda.

She says the killing , burning and disrespect of law enforcement will stop under her administration. But looking back on her record and her husband’s presidency, there was constant turmoil. It is time for America to recover from eight years of damage; we need to breath again. Even Kim Kardashian is beginning to question Hillary’s motives. Maybe Kim is smarter than we think.

A collapsed moral foundation

To the editor:

In all of the remembrance ceremonies for 9/11, I see numerous references to things we should have learned from this tragedy. But I think, as usual, we missed the most important one: The collapse of the trade towers is indicative of our nation, its government and our society.

When our Supreme Court issued the opinion, “that it banned all forms of teaching which suggests or recognizes God,” it destroyed the foundation and supporting structure of our nation; just as when the two aircraft hit the trade towers, destroying the supporting structure of the towers. The results are identical: a total collapse into an indistinguishable pile of rubble. The only difference being, the trade towers collapsed within a few minutes, and our nation is in a longer period of collapse. But it is just as deadly — thousands of lives needlessly lost, and constantly increasing.

In the case of our nation, we can stop the collapse and restore the structure and foundation: Vacate all laws that banned God, His moral government, law and religions from our nation and its society. Which will it be: total collapse or restore our nation’s foundation and support.
